There are a total of 6,360 solar panels in this system. Sharp
Electronics manufactured the 185-watt solar panels in their
Memphis, Tennessee manufacturing facility. The inverters that
convert the DC energy from the panels to AC energy for use in the
County buildings were manufactured in California. The transformers were
also made in the United States. The steel structures in the
Administration Building parking lot were fabricated in Butte
County. The people of Butte County provided all the construction
labor for this project. Therefore, this is the only solar energy
system that is made entirely of products manufactured in the
United States.
